Hello! I'm currently a PhD candidate in Geophysics at the Center for Earthquake Research and Information (CERI) at the University of Memphis. My research focuses on exploring shallow faulting in the New Madrid Seismic Zone using 3D Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). I’ve also had the opportunity to work briefly with receiver functions to study the subsurface features of the Long Valley Caldera.
Before pursuing my PhD, I earned my MS in Earth Sciences from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. My master's research delved into various fault architecture-related challenges, utilizing seismic data from the Gulf of Mexico, field data from Japan, and potentially core samples from the South Atlantic Transect (IODP Expedition 390/393). My work focused on understanding fault damage, the scale of fault damage zones, and their implications for fluid flow.
My academic journey began in India, where I completed my bachelor's and master's degrees in Geology. I then embarked on an adventurous 3.5-year career as a mining geologist, which took me to fascinating places around the world. You can explore more of my experiences on the following webpage.
